I first came across this pasta shape at Ristorante da Massi in Trastevere. And it took me three years to make it. Maltagliati means badly cut and it is important to cut random shapes when making this fresh pasta. In a restaurant setting the leftover scraps from making tagliatelle will be used to create this pasta.

When I started blogging over 10 years ago, I joined as many networks as I could. When Bloglovin’ came along I signed up. Many of my fellow bloggers did likewise at the time. It may have coincided with the end of Feedburner and this was a great way to follow blogs. Especially if you did not make use of a RSS reader. For a very long time I displayed a follow me button on my sidebar. But I have taken it off. Mainly because most of my new followers are all sex sites. Nearly every day I get a notification of a new follower. The follower has a normal name and the avatars used are no indication of the site. The offer is for sexy young girls or something along those lines. To me, it is a sad indication of the times we are living in.

And for those of you who are curious, no, I do not follow them back. It is a trend on social networks called catfishing. False identities are created to target people for fraud, deception or abuse. Usually employed on dating sites for romantic scams, I am seeing it more and more across the board on social media sites. Have you been catfished and do you get followers of the dubious sort?

Dave and I were meant to be away for racing. But, South Africa has declared a National State of Disaster. Gatherings of 100 people of more are prohibited and so our racing was cancelled.
Followers? I never look to see how many or who they are or where they come from — the list is pretty buried in the google blogger software. However, I often get spam messages advertising a variety of “services,” which often, but not exclusively, come from India. They are easily recognized by usually being in broken English and by saying something that sounds as if they had not read the post they are commenting on. I just classify them as spam.
That looks like a good recipe!
be well… best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
The spam function is the best way to handle those comments.
This is interesting! I’ve never heard of it. Of course, I haven’t heard of many things, which is why i follow blogs! I’ve never been catfished, but i do have to block a lot of weird people on instagram…
I have also had to block some weird people on Instagram!
it’s been a while since I went through my list of new followers to see who they are; might be a good quarantine activity..
Are you in quarantine?
Ooh I love Maltagliati!! And no never been catfished and hope to never fall prey to that scam.
It’s such an easy pasta to make.
great idea for left over pasta..
It is indeed.
This is a great recipe to have on hand for utilizing what’s in the pantry. I love that this pasta was utilized from the leftovers. Great topping/sauce ideas—so versatile.
So many things have been cancelled here. Entire art festivals (and institutions) for May, schools, etc. Stay safe and distanced, Tandy!
Stay safe as well!
You know I hadn’t paid any attention to my followers on Bloglovin for some time. But, after reading your post I went and checked. Bingo, you’re right, a bunch of Russian alias. I have now deactivated my account. Thanks for the tip on that Tandy.
Maltagliati is a fun pasta to make as there’s no rules for cutting it into shapes. I love to use it in a cod dish I make.
I shall have to try it using fish 🙂
I totally need to start making pasta!
I never follow back either. I had to many unfollows after and I just decided it was ridiculous. Most of the spam comments that get through are sunglasses or clocks–I think a lot gets filtered out.
I feel the same way as you Inger 🙂
